I’m making a site with **more than one artist** on it.  
I want to make an extremely simple search.

When they for example enter “nas” in the search box.

the **php header** will automatically redirect it to a page called “nas.php”.

I know it can be done using if else. like for example.

\<?  
If ( $textbox == “nas” || “nasir” )  
{  
header(‘location: nas.php’);  
}  
else {  
echo “not found”  
}  
?\>

Please help me by writing the code. I’ve completely forgotten PHP.  
Thanks. Hope you guys can help!
